Today's Guest: Nick Antosca, novelist, The Girlfriend
Game

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of
aimless young people full of lust, anger and amphibian genes… in
the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg,
Florida!

The only author less likely to get interviewed on Mr. Media than
a short story writer is a poet. It has taken seven years for the
first creator of short fiction to make it past the gatekeeper—so
you poets listening shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for your
breakthrough moment. Nick Antosca brings a cinematic storytelling
style to his new short story collection, The Girlfriend
Game, which is undoubtedly why I invested the time and energy
to read it. The tales he tells grab you from the first page, spin
you ‘round and ‘round, and sometimes don’t let go even when you
come out the other side.

NICK ANTOSCA podcast excerpt:
"'Believe' is about a 10-year-old girl with supernatural powers
that are mysterious and growing... There are a lot of surprises
coming. The pilot was written and directed by Alfonso
Cuarón (Gravity). With him and JJ Abrams behind the show, it's
been a great experience. And it's a great writers'
room."

Nick Antosca

That’s not surprising when you discover that the talented Yale
graduate has written for MTV’s “Teen Wolf” adaptation, the
short-lived ABC military drama “Last Resort,” and that he is
currently writing for JJ Abrams’ new NBC show, “Believe.” Antosca
toys with boyfriend/girlfriend relationships in the title story,
“The Girlfriend Game,” man/dog relationships in “Mammals,” and
human/alien relationships in “Soon You Will Be Gone and Possibly
Eaten.” Folks, you’ll get to the end of The Girlfriend Game as I
did and wonder where the time went. Nick AntoscaWebsite • Facebook • Twitter • Order
